Ellis County's current 2026 filing PDF shows Michael Berges for Commission District 1. Leiker stays on the site as a current county commissioner profile, but he is no longer shown as a 2026 ballot candidate unless the county filing list changes.
County commissioners set the county budget, approve road projects, decide on jail funding and mental health services, and make land-use decisions that shape Ellis County for years.
What Does This Job Actually Do?
Ellis County commissioners are the three-person board that runs county government. They set property tax mill levies, approve the county budget, vote on zoning and road projects, oversee the jail and mental health programs, and hire key county staff. District 1 covers part of Hays and the northwest corner of the county. Commissioners serve four-year terms.
